Effect of relative wear-layer thickness
on weight loss of Coin SHH 6934
Effect of changing of relative diameter and
wear-layer thickness on relative weight
6934 dW(dt%)) 6934 W%25(t%25%3bD%25)

Effect of coin size and
wear-layer thickness on weight loss
Notes
6934 dW(t))

W = (π/4)*ρ*D^2*t

Approximation:  ρ (30% Ag) = 9.4 g/cm^3

Equivalent coin thickness t [eqmm] =
 = thickness of cylinder with same
weight, diameter and density

Assumption:
Wear-layer thickness Δt
is  independent of coin size
